Down with Barry
Owing to my near-total embargo on the news for the past month, I didn’t know about this until just a few days ago, but the next President is saying that he wants to “throw his weight around” on the subject of an honest-to-God eight-team playoff system for Division I college football.
Well, hell to the yeah! Barry, if I’d known we were sympatico on this subject —and I have been publicly advocating such a system for 15 or more years— I would have started liking you a lot sooner.
Do it, Mr. President. Throw that weight around and make these lousy bums do what they should’ve done years ago: give big time college football what every other collegiate team sport has to determine its champions: a playoff system. Teddy Roosevelt put his foot down on safety and violence in college football a century ago, so there is plenty of precedent for this.
